   I wonder if this is going start being abused soon.

   If I was Palantir or any other GOP aligned company, I would be completely against this. What's to stop a Democratic president from doing the same thing and destroying them?

      the cold political war turned hot with the prosecution of Trump (he made it easy by being an idiot). there will be no considerations for retaliation now, both sides will be using whatever means they have available to damage each other.

      also if you look at how the two factions separate from each other decade by decade (there used to be overlap, almost none now) it's obvious that there will be no reconciliation.

      it's a musical chairs game at this point, whoever is in power when the democratic facade cracks will be able to seize power and transition into whatever single party state follows.

         You mean the president than literally ran on "lock her up"? That's the victim here?

         Stop trying to both sides this.

            There's a difference between campaigning on something and actually doing it.

            Letitia James campaigned on putting her political opponents in prison and then proceeded to try doing so.

            This isn't difficult to understand.
